A week. He’d be without his hearing aids for a week. Clint swallowed at that, but Tony had promised him not to let anyone know and that he was working on stuff to help him. He knew that and yet.. There was a meeting to attend.

Clint sat down with the others, expecting not to be talked to anyways. Still, he kept his hands on the table, palms flat on the wood to catch vibrations from voices, while everything was just a dull undertone in his ears, so far away. He looked at the others for a while though, and only after ten minutes did he lose interest in listening to dull things that he couldn’t really hear anyways, so he looked down at his hands, wondering if the others would ever find out.

Well.

As the vibrations of Steve’s voice suddenly stopped, then got more intense, he looked up - right into bright blue and visibly angry eyes of the Captain. He blinked once, twice, then his gaze darted down to Steve’s lips as he spoke.

 Are you deaf? I need an answer Clint, now!

He swallowed, then looked back up, and the anger he thought he was seeing got to him - to a point where he bolted. Ran right away without even checking to see if people were following.

Undercover mission

@clinicalrage

“Oh, boy.” Clint made, glancing around the area they had stopped in. It was more like a desert, yet still cold and uncomfortable. They were sent to figure out some things at this gala, yet why they’d sent them both was a riddle to Clint, really. Not that he didn’t like Bruce, but... They usually didn’t do missions together. He was glad the other wanted to get into these things, though, so he didn’t mind doing this with him. As he looked over to the other man, he offered him a small smile. “Ready to go?” he asked, knowing that there would be so many cameras showing them, and that they had to be convincing. “You sure you can pretend being married to me? I mean - I know I’m awesome, but.. I can be a pain.” the archer admitted, chuckling to himself then.

Tony was getting too old for this shit. He had fallen from the sky, the only thing stopping him from breaking his back or dying was the fact that FRIDAY had managed to turn the suit back on with a moment to spare, even though Tony was still beyond unconscious. He hit the ground with a thud, his eyes still closed and his heart beat slow. Maybe it had been a bad idea to get the reactor removed after all. It took him a minute, but he had woken up, the bright sun beating down on his face, and there was Clint. Clint, who looked like he had just seen a ghost. Then there were lips against his and for a moment everything was alright.

“I might lose my sanity if someone doesn’t help me out of this suit in point five seconds.”

Clint too was getting too old for this shit. He hated seeing this, hated knowing that Tony was falling, but he couldn’t do anything. Quickly, his hand moved to his back to trigger one of the net arrows, but it was too late. The suit with Tony in it hit the ground and he was by his side in a second. His breathing stopped as he just looked at Tony, checking for any sign of life, before the other opened his eyes again, looking at him. Without a thought, Clint followed the instinct of kissing him, just to make sure Tony was really there, alive and well. When Tony spoke, Clint pulled back and nodded, trying to get the suit to open, but to no avail, not from his side anyways.

A little Sunshine

@drifting-anarchist

Clint loved working with kids. Especially the youngest ones. He’d realized that after his own bad experiences with his father - he never wanted to be like him. So when he’d gotten old enough, he started working with kids. First just aside from his usual work, then it slowly took over until he got to this school. He got the opportunity to work with the kids who just started, and he loved it.

The kids loved him and he loved them back, keeping an eye on everyone all the time to make sure they were okay. There were some of them who weren’t as lucky, some who didn’t have money to get some of the lunch the school offered. Which was why Bucky had started bringing in sandwiches every day, for example, or fruits, or anything he could buy in bulk and offer the kids. He gave his all for them, and he loved playing with them, especially with Kelsey, the little sunshine.

She knew how to cheer everyone up, especially herself, and Clint knew when she wasn’t happy in the morning. She had only told him a few things about her father, but from what Clint knew, he seemed nice. And she was definitely his little light when he didn’t have a good day, although he didn’t let the kids see it. Today had been good, and he was cleaning up after class, waiting for the last parents to arrive and pick their kids up.

@captainspangly liked for a smutty thing

Okay, this was getting ridiculous. He had agreed to go hiking with Steve - and it was definitely a mistake. Not that Clint couldn’t keep up - he could - but he was behind Steve, and there was sweat on Steve’s arms, and on his back, and where the shirt had ridden up a little, he could see small droplets of sweat curling at the small of his back...

Clint shook his head, definitely not able to handle this the way he was supposed to, a huff escaping him, that was definitely concealed by the wind in their faces from being up high. Clint couldn’t keep his mind on the path they were walking, especially not with Steve right in front of him, looking so damn good.

As they stopped near a larger tree, Clint stepped up to the other, knowing Steve would only want to go get some water from the river here. He shifted against him, humming lightly. “Why the hell are you so hot? This should be illegal.”

He had to be sneaky. He couldn’t just take it and run. It would make him get caught and then.. Then he’d go and run to the next barn and get hurt again. He knew that the man walking in front of him had his wallet in his back pocket. It would be easy. He hoped. What he hadn’t expected was the man stopping and him running into him, hand still in the pocket. 

With wide eyes, he glanced up to him, fear so apparent in them.

Uh-Oh.

“I.. I’m very s-s-sorry, Sir. I - I didn’t..”

[arrowsandradiation]

He just couldn’t forget him. It was hard, harder than he thought he would, and even after months, he was still setting out two plates for dinner or two mugs of coffee. Now, his coffee consumption had doubled and the food he had made versus the one he’d actually ate had lessened. He couldn’t eat, or sleep, and sometimes, he caught himself sleeping on Steve’s side of the bed, where all of his scent had long vanished.

Of course, he just wanted him to be happy.. But he wasn’t, couldn’t be in a time like this. Their friends tried to get him out and into the world again, but he barely managed to run errands and walk Lucky, before he flopped back onto the couch, face buried in the cushions.

Love, Eric

[text; Eric] Love is a pretty big word, you know. [text; Eric] But uh. Apology accepted.
